Introduction
The Alaris® Gateway Workstation (herein after referred to as "Workstation") has been designed as a modular system providing a
communications gateway between the Alaris® Infusion Pump and any Patient Data Management System (PDMS), Patient Monitoring
(PM) System or Clinical Information System (CIS) that requires access to the infusion data retained within the pump .
• Central management system for multiple Alaris® Infusion Pumps
• Medical Device Interface (MDI) – a unique mounting mechanism providing data communications and mains power to the Alaris®
Infusion Pump
• Reduced cable clutter with the use of a single AC power inlet
• Simple to set up with adaptable modular design
• Efficient organisation of multiple infusion lines and configurations
• Battery back-up in the event of power supply interruption
• Optional high visibility beacon assists with the location of pumps in an alarm state
• Nurse call interface for all Alaris® Infusion Pumps attached to the Workstation
• Software running on the Workstation allows remote access to the device
The device supports optional upgrades to enhance the data communication interfaces and to support software for connections to such
client / server systems .
